For anyone doing NY research, there is a website for Cazenovia that has been run by Daniel H. Weiskoffen. Unfortunately, according to the obituary on NYFingerLakes at Rootsweb, he has just died, so if you are interested in the site, I suggest you might want to go to it as not sure what will happen. The site is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/ You can do a name search, as I did for Brooks NOT water, and then click on various opportunities. Here is a sample of one: Holland Land Company Cazenovia Establishment Land Books, 1793 to 1816 Summaries Arranged by Name Daniel H.
